Why I’m Here

Question what you know & change the status quo. The older I get the more I realize that people in positions of power don't always do the right thing. Their interests aren't always for the best interest of all of us. In a democracy citizens are in charge, but we can only get our way if we speak up and join together. I am particularly interested in the use and abuse of power by the state, the media, law enforcement and the military. I occasionally do volunteer work for the ACLU of NJ and civic organizations in my neighborhood of Hoboken, NJ.

Teenage Porn Producers?

The NY Times today highlights a crazy case out of Pennsylvania where a girl was threatened with being charged for child pornography because someone took a photo of her in her bra on a cell phone. With the help of the ACLU-PA she's suing the DA. From the docket we learn this:
